decided to try a tinman tempo type workout on the slushy roads. it turned out really well, felt strong and could have kept going at that pace. One mile warmup then an out and back throught the east bench neighborhood for 6 miles tempo. never checked my watch just ran on feel. mile splits: 6:26, 6:25, 6:25, 6:37, 6:36, 6:36 for 6:31 average. one mile cooldown.

I am dumb, so explain. Tinman?

you know, the wizard of oz!!

I think there is actually a guy named tinman who coined it. just a tempo run that is supposed to be a sort of "easy" tempo, faster than marathon goal pace by maybe 15 seconds per mile or something.

the tinman runs used to be open access, now I guess you have to register. here is the link if you are interested:

then here are some of the articles/ideas Paul Petersen recommended to me:

He says he gets a lot of his training ideas here so they must be good.

Yes, I know the Wizard of Oz (almost by heart), but the tinman is no runner!!!

Thanks for those links. I will look at them. if you two do them, they must be GOOD!!!!
